Home server behind firewall

[Simon Pole]

I'd like to setup a home web server behind my firewall.  The 
server would be used strictly to serve streaming media files 
(for podcasts), as my website host doesn't allow this.

I wondered what the risk to my home network would be if I did set 
up a server.  On the one hand, I will save a bundle by hosting 
streaming media at home.  But on the other hand, is the risk 
manageable and worth it?

Cheers
Simon
